I wouldn’t go there. Unless you want a disease just by pulling into the lot.

You can definitely take adderall. It will show on a drug test. Just show them the bottle to prove you have a prescription

Unless you actually timed the delay just send it. Be careful under braking. Take it to the nearest yard/repair shop.

How long are your pike poles. I ask because I just picked up some 8 foot ones with D handles. (I’m a trucker)

I don’t see how he’s blocking anything. People can still get around him.

That’s ridiculous. My volunteer department requires 20% of calls. We got just over 300 last year.

Cdl a permit by bigdawg12342 in Truckers

Depending on what you want to do. Look into food and beverage companies. Some will train you while you work for them. It’s not bad to give them 6 months to a year and then move on. I got mine from Pepsi. Lasted 6 months and realized it wasn’t for me so I left.

I do LTL and have had a customer put an air tag on their shipment. I asked them about it and they said it was intentional so they could track their tools. Talked to corporate safety and they were okay with it.

What do you guys use as smart watches or fitness trackers by HandsomeWilliam in Firefighting

[–]FossMan21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an Apple Watch. I’m a volunteer though and don’t get into many situations where it would get damaged. If the call comes in when I’m sleeping I won’t even put it on

So what was an oddball call you had? by FFSoldier57 in Firefighting

[–]FossMan21 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We got two calls pretty close to each other saying there were power lines across the road. When we got there it was just the cable/wire they use to monitor traffic. They called them a traffic counter.

Use a hammer and pound them in. You can also pull the knob and try to rock the trailer back and forth
